Wu Guanzheng, Secretary of the CPC Central Commission for
Discipline Inspection, emphasizes the importance of fighting
corruption at its source in an article to be published today.
"The crackdown on corruption cases has to be maintained, but
efforts also need to be made to build an effective corruption
prevention and control mechanism," says Wu, who is also a member of
the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist
Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.
In his article in the 18th issue of Qiushi, a CPC Central
Committee magazine, Wu says anti-corruption efforts should be made
in political, economic, cultural and social fields.
In the political field, efforts should be made to regulate the
activities of leading cadres and reinforce checks on the use of
power.
In the economic field, opportunities to use power for personal
gain should be gradually eliminated and the crackdown on commercial
bribery should be conscientiously pursued.
In the cultural field, a social atmosphere that values honesty
and decency, and in which corruption is regarded as shameful, needs
to be fostered.
In the social field, unhealthy tendencies that harm people's
interests need to be opposed and corrected and more opportunities
need to be provided for people to take part in anti-corruption
efforts.
